Canada`s national archives being dismantled and scattered

Library and Archives Canada‘s collection is being decentralized and scattered across the country, often to private institutions, which will limit access, making research difficult or next impossible. It should be noted that Daniel Caron, the new National Archivist hired in 2009, doesn‘t even have a background in library nor archives but, a background in economics.
